It lies half way between the Provençal towns of Brignoles and Fréjus, with St Tropez to the south-east and Chateau Miraval close by. Recognising the great potential of La Mascaronne's renowned terroir, the domaine was purchased by Tom Bove in 1999, (at the time he also owned the nearby Château Miraval), and the renaissance of the domaine began. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated on a hillside at the highest point of the estate, La Mascaronne’s sixty hectare vineyard is a single, continuous plot of land surrounded by oak and olive trees. It sits in a sumptuous ring-shaped site, mostly composed of clay-limestone soils. At an elevation of three hundred meters, it enjoys a unique microclimate:at night, it is constantly cooler than on the shore. Certified organic since 2016, the vineyard’s orientation brings natural ventilation that favours the healthy development of its grapes. The amount of sunshine and rain and average temperatures are never excessive, providing ideal conditions for the vine to thrive. The winemaker Nathalie Longefay is particularly keen on indigenous varieties for the white and rosés (with Grenache, Cinsault and Rolle to the fore) but broadens the perspective a little for the reds, which Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache here dominate. All of the fruit is domaine-sourced and estate-bottled. The wines are organic, limited in production and uniformly excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConvinced by the potential of La Mascaronne, Michel Reybier purchased the estate in 2020. He is also the owner of Cos d’Estournel, a Second Growth in Saint-Estèphe, Domaine Impérial Tokaj-Hétszölö, the Jeeper champagne house and La Réserve hotels in Paris, Geneva, Zurich and Ramatuelle. Under his guidance and stewardship this exquisite estate is certainly in safe hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCHÂTEAU LA MASCARONNE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"The official website of Château La Mascaronne\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chateau-lamascaronne.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Like Chateau La Mascaronne on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mascaronne\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow Chateau La Mascaronne on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lamascaronne\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chateau-la-mascaronne-provence-rose","title":"Château La Mascaronne Rosé 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau La Mascaronne Rosé is an exceptionally fresh, balanced and organic Provence Rosé that expresses all the qualities of the terroir from which it is produced.
